This CPD course is all about real asset acquisition’s cash flow. You will learn the commonly used single-period and multiple-period methods. This is because, notably, real asset is a big-ticket item that requires high cost. Learn to do it right as it is a number game. This course is to show you how “to do the numbers”. Without knowing them, you are really just guessing when trying to figure out whether a given real asset is a good investment or not.
